Hole 14 is very different than it's predecessor. The intro ring & string mechanism is the same, but slightly adjusted to accommodate the changes to the fairway and green. The fairway gives you 2 new approaches depending on your mechanism accomplishments. The thruways are narrow, so be careful! Also, the green has been greatly expanded and the hole has been moved to the edge of the slope. Good luck! It's still a par 4, but plays much more like a par 5 if you don't sink a

At the front desk, we've had stacks of flyers for 2 very different upcoming Western Mass music festivals that both hold a special space in my heart and much of our clientele shows love for each… and sometimes both. For Western Mass festivals, one holds the finest in jam music, whilst the other holds the mega mosh of heavy music. One features bands with names like Leftover Salmon, Future Joy and Desert Rain, while the other has bands like Whores, Squid Pisser and Horse Grave.

Prodigy works with a few great recovery groups with admission donations and special rates for private rentals and I'm always looking for more groups that could use some assistance. I personally understand the struggle of finding social activities and outing ideas that don't include the possibilities of substance use and the exposure to those pressures. It's not for everyone and not everyone needs a change, but after 15 years of indulging while touring on the road, bar after

A cool, somewhat hidden feature to Prodigy is the very exclusive Membership program that we offer to customers that regularly come by at least once a week. Currently, we’re at about 20 members, most of which stop by twice a week and a few every night! Some, in fact, stop by on their way home from work for a quick game, say howdy and vanish like the wind. It’s an awesome way to have access to the room every open day while not feeling obligated to stay for hours. I want to o

Hole 4 has not only been reimagined, remixed and remastered, but it has been reformed. I was talking to pro minigolfer Brandon Robinson, days after my last tournament and had one of the best and most productive discussions I've ever had about minigolf and my course in specific. One of these topics was how he classifies each hole on what he considers a great course. Of all the classifications he ties to my course, it was only missing 1 type: The Timing Hole (ie, the Windmil

Hole 11 is the newest victim of remixing that I accomplished this week. I also remixed Hole 2, but let's concentrate on Hole 11, here. Before, you had one choice to tee off aiming to the right, banking off the rail and leaving the ball in line for a second putt up the inclined ramp. Now, there are 2 choices... both of which have the fantastic ability to hole in 1, unlike before. You can tee off aiming down the middle and attempt to bank off of the 3 different sized angles a

This past week, I finished updating 14 of the 18 holes of the course. The most prominent of these changes was to hole 3. Before, you were forced to tee off up the incline and attempt the pass-through at the top. Failing to make that, would roll you down into the fairway, but putting too hard would bounce you back to the tee pad. Now, you have an option of a pass-through directly off the tee to the fairway, completely avoiding the incline. I also moved the tee pad back, p

Over the last few weeks and on into the next couple months, I'm updating, remixing and remastering the course. One new feature that I'm consistantly implementing is the "strut," as they will be referred to as. Joining the "wart," which is an angled long obstacle flat against a side rail that makes banking the ball a little more troublesome, the "strut" will be used for good. Struts will straddle virtually any 90 degree angles on the course. Struts are 45 degree sections that

A couple friends of mine have a podcast called 'Musician U' where they examine and dissect all sorts of gaming and music related happenings! Their latest episode about chiptunes features some amazing info about how retro 8-bit systems produce sound and music for games... with a little cameo from yours truly! It's a great watch so check them out!

Holes 7 and 8 have been officially reimagined. Hole 7 used to have the 3 bank method to get to the green, which I always thought was a little much, so it only requires 2 banks now but features a much thinner, exact approach. Hole in one-able for sure! Hole 8 has been widened featuring a new L-shaped middle obstacle. The two section gates have been closed considerably, but still allows for a possible hole in one (which I have done during play test). I've also, for the most p

Some call it work; I call it playtime. 🤪 New holes 7 and 8 coming this week. Brand new designs, brand new strategies.

NEW HOLE ALERT! The brand new hole 18 is ready for public trials, as some adjustments will be made! This new hole makes the course a complete 18 holes. Hole 18 features an inclined green; the only one on the course. There are 2 options from the tee pad; left is a difficult, thin, sharp 90 degree angle straight to the cup, while the right side is wide, but a much longer travel to the cup. The right side allows you a choice of going straight to the cup or banking around to

Hole 12's inclined route is a rough one, but with practice, you can master it.

After over 8 years of hole 18 featuring a character named King Space Phace created and painted by Jen Dulong , Prodigy will be introducing a brand new hole 18 next week. This will the last week for the King! He will still be hanging around, but as decor and not functional as part of the course. The new hole 18 will be a regular dog leg hole with a challenging (surprising, I know) ending. This will make Prodigy a full 18 hole course. This will please our minigolf professio

I'll admit it... I'm a sucker for blast processing!

Imagine a world where video games didn’t need updates or patches, didn’t need an internet connection and came to you in finished (and sometimes flawed, but accepted) physical form. Imagine if video game systems didn’t need to be logged into with your information, first. Imagine if video games were optimised to work as efficiently as possible. Imagine inserting your physical game, powering on and being able to play within 10 seconds. This world actually existed. In fact,

It's been a while since our last 1 Star review, so pardon the long delay. I guess we've been doing something right lately! But we finally failed! (sadface) This guy gave me the ol' Lone Star without even visiting the place, which seems to be a thing amongst our few 1 Star champs. I don't fault him, though. See, you have to look at Prodigy like it's a porcupine. From the outside, I can totally see this place looking like a place where, quote, "Fun Goes To Die!" (I need t

We're still waiting on that Super Duper Big Monster Boggle!

The 1983 Famicom design couldn't have been more different than the 1985 NES design. Same console, completely different design for a different retail region. When Japan redesigned the NES for the States, they wanted it to function and look like a VCR, because of the massive popularity of the video cassette recorder, here.

So, you want to finish your game later? We got you! Prodigy has plenty of memory cards for you to save your game. We'll even label your tag or name on it until your next visit. Who else does this?
